Biographical Note

In 1997, with the encouragement of Hispanic community leaders, local scholars, and NAU historians, NAU Cline Library began conducting oral history interviews with members of Flagstaff's community of Basque, Spanish and Mexican-Americans. Original photographs were often loaned to Cline Library for copying purposes by the families who were interviewed for this project. The families represented in this documentation are all listed below and represent a varied perspective on this diverse community. Photographs depict daily life, work, and special occasions.

Life-time Flagstaff resident and well-respected member of the Hispanic community and library staff member, Delia Ceballos Munoz, was chosen as the principal interviewer for this project. Her desire to share and document the stories of Flagstaff natives has become an ongoing labor of love. Cline Library hopes that more families will step forward with their stories and photographs in order to help preserve this important part of the region's heritage.
